Amniotic band syndrome
Amniotic band syndrome (ABS), also called amniotic band sequence or Streeter anomaly, is a congenital disorder where fibrous amniotic strands constrict fetal parts, causing deformities or amputation, mostly of hands and feet, sometimes treated by fetoscopic band release.
Amniotic fluid
Amniotic fluid: liquid in the amniotic sac surrounding the fetus; peaks near 800 mL at 34 weeks, circulates via fetal urine and swallowing, measured by AFI or deepest vertical pocket, sampled by amniocentesis.
Amniotic fluid embolism
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE), also called anaphylactoid syndrome of pregnancy, is a rare obstetric emergency where amniotic fluid enters maternal circulation, causing cardiovascular collapse, hypoxia, and DIC; incidence about 1.7 per 100,000 maternities with 13–30% case fatality.
Amniotic fluid index
Amniotic fluid index (AFI): ultrasound sum of the deepest fluid pocket in four uterine quadrants (Phelan 1987). Oligohydramnios AFI 25 cm; versus single deepest pocket it doubles diagnoses and inductions without better outcomes.
Amniotic membrane transplantation
Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) grafts preserved human amniotic membrane, a placental layer, onto damaged eye surfaces to promote healing while suppressing inflammation, neovascularization, and scarring.
